It feels weird writing the word “kids” because I’m pretty sure that my Mum used to tell us (kids) off for saying kids instead of children. I may be imagining that, I shall ask her later. I can’t even imagine why we couldn’t say it – maybe it was considered slang, back in the Dark Ages when I was growing up…

View all the Christmas Gift pages…

Anyway, here’s my little guide to gifts for babies and kids – some handpicked gems for newborns and small children with a couple of things that might be suitable for the slightly older ones. Though I didn’t have a lot of time, this year, and this category is new, so forgive me if it’s all quite selective!

I also managed to lose a video file when I was exporting the guide and so there’s a big annoying (very unprofessional!) gap where the close-up of the wooden ark is supposed to be. But here’s a lovely picture of it (above) and another (below):

Here we go then – I had a little reindeer helper for this video, which is the first of three (maybe four) filmed gift guides – but she had to be de-reindeered halfway through and put on her play mat because it was SO hot in front of my new fire! But if you’re after a bit of a cooing baby fix then you’ll like the start of this…
